Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

The night is long.

The camp was still full of chills, and the busy and orderly preparations for the battle were still going on. Li Xiu, dressed in military uniform, patrolled every place in the camp.

Although the opponent was only a weak peasant army, the lifelong experience of those famous generals clearly told Li Xiu one truth, that is, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength!

Soldiers are no small matter, as long as the weapon is turned on, it will be bloody, and any slight mistake will immediately affect the overall situation. If there is a slight carelessness, the whole line will collapse, and there will be no way to recover!

No matter who the opponent is, as long as he stands on the opposite side, it is worth his all-out effort!

"Be gentle with me! This damn thing is full of gunpowder!"

"Stop moaning, kid, quickly cover it with an oilcloth..."

In the big camp arsenal, a dense row of carriages is neatly arranged, and hundreds of soldiers shuttle between the carriages and the warehouse, loading all kinds of ordnance onto the carriages.

"The last general will see the general!"

Seeing Li Xiu coming at a fast pace, the voice that was still shouting stopped abruptly, the general ran over quickly, knelt on the ground, cupped his fists and made a sound.

"How are you getting ready?"

Li Xiu glanced at the half-empty frame in front of him, and asked casually.

"Report to the general, before noon tomorrow, the loading will be completed!"

"Ah."

Li Xiu nodded, lifted a piece of oilcloth casually, and looked at the ordnance already loaded under the oilcloth.

The army of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to firearms, and the Yongwei Battalion naturally did the same. Even when Wei Zhongxian was in power, they also attached great importance to firearms.

After Zhu Youjian ascended the throne and Li Xiu took power, he paid more attention to firearms. However, in this era when martial arts is a reality, Li Xiu will naturally not give up the popularization of martial arts.

In today's Yongwei Battalion, it can be said that firearms and martial arts go hand in hand.

But compared with weapons, the logistics supply and even maintenance of firearms are undoubtedly much more cumbersome.

For example, in this arsenal, most of the ordnance is firearms, and these frames are naturally dominated by firearms.

Glancing at the firearms neatly stacked on the frame according to regulations, Li Xiu was about to put down the tarpaulin, but his eyes suddenly fixed on the firecrackers in the wooden box on the side of the frame.

At this moment, the originally serious expression suddenly darkened.

Seeing the change in Li Xiu's expression, the general standing next to Li Xiu also subconsciously trembled. Just as he was about to say something, Li Xiu raised his hand and lifted the oilcloth away. It was completely revealed in front of the soldiers.

This action also immediately gathered the eyes of the soldiers present.

Li Xiu stepped forward, picked up a firecracker in the wooden box, looked at it carefully, and when he raised his head again, there was a strong murderous intent between his brows!

Stepping out, there was only a crisp sound of tearing, and another frame full of ordnance was revealed.

"Okay, okay, enough courage, enough courage!"

Li Xiu looked around, and his voice was icy cold like never before!

Chapter 1 Chapter Seven

boom!

The firecracker fell to the ground and rolled several times. The rusty gun body was undoubtedly extremely dazzling at this moment!

boom!

In an instant, the soldiers present also knelt down subconsciously!

"Now, immediately, Ben will put out all the firearms in stock!"

"Also, I will bring the arsenal envoy and guarding hundreds of households here!"

"Pass down the order and put the whole army on alert. From now on, no soldier is allowed to leave the camp without this general's order. Anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy!"

A series of orders, like a sledgehammer, slammed into the hearts of every soldier of the Yongwei Battalion present. No soldier could remain calm in front of the furious Li Xiu.

It has been nearly a year since the Yongwei Battalion established an army, and there are more than ten thousand soldiers, all of them are very clear about this general's temperament.

In his rules, everything is easy to say, once his rules are violated, it will be the wrath of thunder.

The school ground rolled the heads of the people in the audience, which had already clearly proved how terrifying the consequences of this thunderous fury would be!

"Quick, quick! Move out, quick!"

After a while, accompanied by a rush of shouts, the kneeling soldiers immediately got busy, pieces of oilcloth covering the frame were lifted, and a pair of firecrackers and cannons were quickly placed on Li Xiushen's body. forward.

"General... General!"

At this time, Erwazi hurried over, and when he saw Li Xiu's cold expression, he immediately suppressed the words that came to his lips.

"What's up!"

Li Xiu turned his head, eyes still full of coldness.

Erwazi was obviously a little worried: "Uh... Eunuch Sun from the Military Warfare Bureau has already said that he will send someone to bring the weapons by tomorrow at the latest."

After finishing speaking, Er Wazi hesitated for a while, but couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Xiu... General, what happened?"

"Someone wants to die, I will have to fulfill him!"

Li Xiu looked at the hundreds of households in the arsenal who had been escorted by the guards, and snorted coldly.

Hearing this, Erwazi subconsciously wanted to ask, but when he saw the rusty firecracker on the ground, his expression suddenly became gloomy.

He is naturally very clear that although there are many types of firearms in the first battalion of brave guards, without exception, they are all high-quality products brought by the Inner Court War Bureau, and if they are a little inferior, they will not be sent to the brave guards battalion!

And the firecracker on the ground was rusty, and it was obviously crudely made!

Having followed Li Xiu for so long, he was naturally very clear about Li Xiu's emphasis on firearms. Every time he sent ordnance over in a military battle, he repeatedly emphasized that the existence of defective firearms would never be allowed.

And Eunuch Sun of the Military Warfare Bureau has repeatedly assured that when the two parties in power and both supply and demand have reached an agreement, such obviously crudely made firearms, under normal circumstances, naturally cannot appear in the Yongwei Battalion, but Now...appeared...

What it means is obviously very clear!

Someone has the guts!Some people are greedy for profit!

"The general is wronged, the general is wronged!"

Soon, shrill begging for mercy resounded through the school grounds, and under the supervision of the guards, two generals, both in their thirties, were pushed and shoved over.

Before arriving in front of Li Xiu, the two couldn't wait to kneel down on the ground, begging for mercy and defending non-stop.

Li Xiu didn't even look at them. He looked around at some of the firearms that had already been displayed. Among them, the crude products mixed in twos and threes stood out from the crowd, so don't be too conspicuous!

"Not bad, really good!"

Li Xiu turned around, and fixed his cold eyes on the two kneeling begging for mercy: "Shooting second-hand goods as good ones and reselling armaments, your courage is far greater than I imagined!"

"General, the last general is forced to do nothing, general!"

"Yes, yes, yes, General, the last general is innocent!"

"Helpless, innocent?"

Li Xiu looked around coldly: "Sun Tao, take someone to count the ordnance immediately, and give me a detailed list within an hour!"

"Zhou Yuji, immediately take someone to bring the family members and friends of the two of them back to the camp!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two generals who had been begging for mercy turned pale in an instant, and there was a moment of silence, and the shrill begging for mercy suddenly rose to more than one level!

"General, I am guilty, I am guilty, I will recruit, I will recruit, the family members of the last general are innocent!"

"General, general..."

The shouting became more and more horrific, Li Xiu's expression remained unchanged, he waved his hand, and even though he didn't say a word, the second child beside him immediately reacted, and with a whispered order, he led a group of soldiers forward, and the two The general was held down, and the second general was pushed down by dragging and tugging.

The hasty shouts became weaker and weaker, until finally, the shouts stopped abruptly and turned into mournful howls.

The wailing sounded continuously, and the soldiers present were also unprecedentedly fast, without daring to make the slightest sound, they shuttled between the warehouse and the frame in an orderly manner, and counted all the ordnance in the arsenal in detail.

Time passed bit by bit, but for every soldier present, even every minute and second was unprecedentedly long.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Erwazi to come in a hurry, breaking the almost frozen atmosphere.

"General, we have already recruited!"

"Say."

Li Xiu's expression was still indifferent. Hearing Erwazi's words, he took a deep breath before uttering a single word.

"When Wei Zhongxian took power, they began to resell arms, shipped out the high-quality firearms in the arsenal, and made some defective products outside to shoddy them..."

"Selling ordnance and shoddy goods are not simple, nor are they two hundred households able to play around. Who else in the army is involved, and who is behind them?"

This remark caught my ears, and Erwazi leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Zhou Min, the deputy general of the fifth battalion of soldiers, Hu Dahai, the general of the garrison, Chang Ning, the deputy director of the Military Judicial Department..."

Speaking of this, Erwazi hesitated for a while, and said again: "It seems that someone is involved in the military battle, and, among the nobles, it seems that there are also big figures involved. According to them, they are just following orders. There are too many. They don't know either..."

"Follow orders! What a follower!"

Li Xiu laughed back angrily: "Take people, the general will capture all the soldiers involved in the case! Give this general a good trial!"

"General... it's just the two of them's one-sided words at the moment. If they are arrested like this, will they..."

Erwazi was a little hesitant.

"I'd rather kill the wrong one, don't let it go!"

With Li Xiu's cold voice, Erwazi immediately shut his mouth, and without any further persuasion, he obeyed his orders and left.

"General, the inventory has been counted. There are 1000 or [-] Lumi guns missing, [-] tiger squatting guns are missing, and there are powder barrels and projectiles..."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yuji also looked at Li Xiu with some trepidation. He has been in the Yongwei Battalion for so long, so he is very clear about the temperament of the general in front of him!I also understand the general's expectations for the Yongwei Battalion very well!

But now, when the military law is like a prison, such a big flaw can still appear!

One can imagine what kind of bloody storm will follow!

……

But to Zhou Yuji's surprise, the general in front of him didn't have the expected rage, he knew it with a cold and biting sentence, and sent him away.

After fixing his eyes on the ordnance list in his hand for a long time, Li Xiu let out a long breath.

He should be thankful, thankful that he discovered the flaw this time, otherwise, the corruption would spread, and sooner or later, the foundation of the Yongwei Battalion would be corroded bit by bit.

In this case, on the day when the Yongwei Battalion is really needed, it will be truly hopeless!

Chapter 1

But to Zhou Yuji's surprise, the general in front of him didn't have the expected rage, he knew it with a cold and biting sentence, and sent him away.

After fixing his eyes on the ordnance list in his hand for a long time, Li Xiu let out a long breath.

He should be thankful, fortunately, at this time, he discovered the flaw, otherwise, the corruption would spread, and sooner or later, the foundation of the Yongwei Battalion would be corroded bit by bit.

In this case, if the day comes when the Brave Guard Battalion is really needed, and you haven't noticed it, then it will be the real horror!

Thinking about it, Li Xiu couldn't help feeling a little helpless, he eliminated and reorganized his troops, and under his strict control, he could do such a bold thing. It is conceivable that the other armies of the Ming Dynasty have already become so corrupted. to what extent.

As for the resold ordnance, Li Xiu knew where it would go without having to think about it.

After all, without huge interests, it is absolutely impossible to involve such a huge network of relationships.

And looking at Daming, only those wealthy businessmen and gentry who can give such a big benefit!

However, there is no need for the wealthy gentry and merchants in the south of the Yangtze River to go to the capital to spend money.

And in this vast northern land, history has clearly proved that there are not a few wealthy businessmen and gentry who are even collaborating with the enemy and traitorous to the country.

Of course, no matter how rich the wealthy businessmen and tyrants are, they will not be able to open up such a huge network of relationships without the help of powerful people.

At that time, although the Houjin Tartars were powerful in riding and shooting, and even had a great reputation as Jurchen dissatisfied and invincible, but now, Houjin's emphasis on firearms is no less than that of Daming!

At this thought, Li Xiu also sighed helplessly. Internal and external troubles, natural and man-made disasters, looking around, there is a scene of a building that is about to collapse, but there are countless moths inside, lying on Daming's terminally ill body and sucking blood!

In the past, although it was extremely clear, it has never been such a profound experience this time.

Close at hand, close at hand!

And under his strict control!

There is still such a thing...

The lesson is not insignificant!

After self-examination for a long time, Li Xiucai woke up from his heavy thoughts. He tightened the handle of the knife in his hand and stepped out. The guards beside him also followed closely behind and surrounded him.

The knife is out of its sheath, and the Yongwei camp tonight is destined to be uneasy!
